Today I went to see a design museum in Holon (very interesting).
They displayed high-tech clothing with electronic chips inserting in the
clothing.
Some were interactive and automatically reacted to the environment.
In particular one cannot photograph the person since the chips automatically
blur the reflection.

Would such clothing be prohibited on shabbat? since one is not actively
doing
anything but the embedded chip reacts automatically. Some of the responses
are to play some music which I assume is prohibited as making sounds on
shabbat.
